KY Stage 3 PLUS anyone?
I was getting chased this morning by a WRX on the highway, He didnt overtake me. LOL However a few times when i punched it in 5th the clutch slipped so i am assuming its close to time. I really use the car as a DD and was wondering if anyone has any comments on the KY Stage 3 Plus from TTR. I see its a full faced and claims it can hold high TQ. I was also wondering if the engagement is close to stock. I have read numerous times that the Stage 3 has high engagement. That is a big turnoff for me. I plan on a K04R and want to do the clutch once. Any opinions?
Thanks

How so? I wasn't at 1500 RPM when I punched it. I was doing over 100MPH at Close to 4K. What was dumb was I hit 135 on the highway which is against my better judgement. My tune is set for the full boost to hit a little later than most. It makes the car a bit more driveable for me in NYC. With that being said, do you have any input that pertains to the OP? Thanks again

Just to state again I was over 100mph on RT 80 In NJ during a morning commute. I was not on the salt flats. Did I look at exactly my RPM and Speed, No. I was more concerned about the traffic in front of me. Case being when I shifted and pushed the gas my clutch slipped. I was on the way UP in RPMS. I was not at a leisure cruise. My clutch has 60K plus on it so that must say something. I understand that 5th gear WOT will stress the clutch if Im coming in full boost a 3k and punching it from 2K. However this is not the case. Did I use all of 4th no. Does it matter in this case No. I will ask again, instead of useless comments do you have anything that pertains to the original question. Thanks again

Sorry for the mild rant i went on and thanks for all the replies. I am really trying to get my ducks in a row, I plan on laying the car up for a few months. Kind of backwards laying it up in the summer but I have no choice. I was thinking GMPP but I am going to turbo swap and dig a bit deeper in the engine and I want to do it all at once. I have heard the southbend stage 4 is a good clutch. Dont think I would put down enough power for the 4+. I started look at KY when I saw they had a full faced (New 3+). TTR has advertised it but I havent seen reviews. I havent checked to much into clutchmasters yet but I will thanks. The car is My DD back and forth 200+ mi a day. Also driving in Midtown Manhattan is murder on a clutch so I want to be in it for the long haul. I was looking at the price of OEM flywheels and almost cried. I dont think an aluminum one would be my best choice given my cars use. Ive seen the LUK one has some decent reviews. Anyone run it?

You guys are great! I dont know where to start. Whatever work I want to do will be done in my garage. I am a pretty decent at mechanics LOL. I fully understand what a build entails. Usually its an over budget deadline blowing project due to unforeseen issues and mind changing games. Been there done that with Musclecars. I travel all highway. For the most part it is 200mi a day. Sometimes I wind up staying in NYC for a night or 2 during the week so it helps. I know that the higher you go with power the lower reliability goes but thats dependent on how you drive. If you are constantly in it ***** going to happen and your dd will be laid up. I have a 25 psi tune that doesnt kick in till late. Most of the time Im driving at 5 or less boost unless I almost floor it. Yes sometimes the occasional WRX or POS Mustang antagonizes me but Im not usually street racing to work. I already have some parts that need to be installed, powell modified strut housings with koni yellows and YYZ V5 springs, NEW Powell control arms with T&L Cabs, Powergrid end links, a new Hardcore bar cause my OTTP is shattered. So the car will be laid up anyway. I also am getting the V3 manifold pcv mod from powell along with the Rear beam Bushings. I plan on keeping the car so whatever I do to it if it surpasses DD status, ill pick up a beater 90's nissan sentra and go from there. My plan is to do it and once. I have a ram 1500 I will be using while its in the garage. Also I know that this has been beaten to death in other posts, But from experience does the GMPP have better holding power than a stock LNF clutch? Oh and By a bit deeper in the engine I didnt mean all MODS. I want to do the Valve cleaning and take care of some 92,000 mi checks. Reasons to lay the car up.

It's a nice gain for the the stock but my tune isn't even finished due to kr. I just bought a dd I need to fix some body issues and I'll park the Balt to start taking it apart and see what the problem but I think it's well worth it if you have E85 available

I read you were having some issues with KR and some noises from the turbo. Can I PM you tomorrow. I have a question or 2 I wanted to ask about the R. I just dont want to beat this thread up anymore.
